Stress Less for Success

We've all been there. Finals week is by far the most stressful time on campus. And no one has a better eye for recognizing and responding to students in distress than the folks in Student Affairs. Fortunately, many creative SA professionals have come up with fun and clever ideas to help their harried students to destress and release some tension through rewarding and engaging activities.

Putting meaning into miles

After training for many months and completing 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathon races in all 5 boroughs (plus Les 20 Kilometres de Paris), CampusGroups team member since 2011, Laura Lafond, will be running the iconic NYC Marathon on November 4, 2018. This race, however, will be different from the others (and not just because it’s longer).

Happy Fall! 🍂☕🎃🦃

It's one of our favorite times of the year. The leaves are transitioning into beautiful fall colors, folks are feeling festive, and the fresh cool air is perfect for getting outside with friends and exploring both on and off campus.

Make sure to take advantage of this beautiful and vibrant season's fun and enriching activities for college students! Here are 12 of our favorites ideas for campus events that are ideal for fall:

When Groups Co-host an Event, Everyone Wins

Co-hosting events is a great way to introduce more potential members to student clubs, boost event attendance, share resources and save money.

When it comes to decision-making, group leaders are utilizing surveys to collect information from campus communities. CampusGroups’ survey tools are a cost-effective way to collect information that can be used in meaningful ways. Let’s take a look at four ways students are using this handy tool.

They’re asking for feedback after an event.

How well-received was our annual Marketing Summit? How was the catering? Were the discussion topics interesting? How might we improve our next event?

Bring Your Whole Campus Together on One Platform

CampusGroups lets you create a private community platform to manage all your student life, groups, events and communications in one place. Our mission is to enrich the campus experience and help students continually discover opportunities for involvement and leadership!

For some of your events, cancellations are not an option. You have invested a lot into your event. Your team has organized the venue, facilities, AV needs, supplies, food, drinks, scheduling, invitations, flyers and other promotional materials. You've locked down a VIP speaker, great event sponsors and wonderful giveaways.

And, naturally, you have asked that students RSVP responsibly with the firm intention to attend.

Good news: We have created an option to prevent cancelation for specific Registration Options in your events.
